Like Marc Wilson?
Er, no.
Clearly BS, you need to read up on the current Finance minister for the North's talking shop...
;)
Gerry got a few things wrong in the Sunday Life.
He was eulogising about our great young prospects across the water and cited, amongst others, Daniel Devine and Neil Dougan at PNE.
I thought Daniel Devine has opted for the South?
Neil Dougan came home in the summer and is currently playing for, err, Linfield Swifts.:rolleyes:

"As a young Roman Catholic growing up in loyal West Belfast, I enjoyed a successful career on the mainland after I ditched the old bogball. But being a proud Ulsterman, I loved nothing more than pulling on the green (lol) jersey of British Ulster. My favorite match was against the Eire (or the Bosco XI as I called them - lol), I took great pride in jousting with the old enemy. Just like my hero King Billy in 1690.
Now lets puts this anthem issue to bed. GSTQ is our anthem, our British anthem. Ulster is British soil, just like the Falklands. Or Gibraltar. I cannot see why those young RC's (like James McLean - Would you like a chicken supper? lol) can't raise their little papist heads in pride to bless her Protestant majesty. Typical RC's, they hate everything English bar their dole cheques (lol). Now sing up Taigy, sing up with pride..
"God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
No surrender!!!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.
Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Provos to crush (raise your head Darron Gibson lol),
God save the Queen."
Weren't there murmurs that this column was ghost-written by the sports editor?
...or just get Sean Scannell's brother Damian on the case.Quote:

I'd say that's probable as I can't imagine a Catholic using the 'Roman' prefix.Quote:

:rolleyes:
@ The Fly;Unless of course they were singing " Roamin' in the Gloamin' ", though that would doubtless be considered unsuitable by some on here.
Ah come on!!!Quote:

He wasn't capped by NI at any underage competitive level before he played for us. He still can use the option in Article 18 to change once and decide to go North, if they wanted him, i.e. if he hasn't received their version of the indelible mark of Cain.
No, he plays for Eastleigh FC.Quote:

Scannell's consistently played under-age with Ireland and a name like Scannell is slightly suggestive of a nationalist background so I presume the North was never an option when he was choosing which side to play for.Quote:

So Gerrys been talking to his neighbour Gary about a new NI specific anthem?
So is it going to be called "Towering wet-knickers chorus" or will that just be the mantra from same?
Xylophone dinks (2 barres), downstroked tele (2 barres), mumbled verse (4 barres), pause (4 beats), Towering wet-knickers chorus (4 barres).....
Rauiri Croskery striker from annsborough signed for man utd he is under 16 and played for the norths under15s this year. Possible ireland player for future if the north does not manage to become more visibly inclusive
